Chapter VII Appointments

Although there is a fire in July, the weather is still hot at the end of June, and people can sleep on mattresses at night and sweat in the morning.

Lu Yinghua used a basin to fill some crushed ice and put it in the room to cool down, Jiang Xuehan didn't feel hot, because she had the internal strength to control the temperature around her, not to mention that she also wore a jade that could adjust the temperature, Jiang Xuehan wanted to find an opportunity to take this jade to his family to wear, like this kind of jade is countless in Jiang Xuehan's space, and it looks beautiful in any shape.

Jiang Aiguo was afraid of the heat, and when he woke up in the heat before five o'clock and couldn't fall asleep, he got up and sat in the living room to watch TV, but Lu Yinghua slept quite soundly.

Jiang Xuehan braided his hair into braids and hung down behind him, wore a set of sportswear, put the keys in his pocket and decorated some change, sometimes after exercising, Jiang Xuehan would eat breakfast directly outside, and take some breakfast home.

Jiang Lu was on vacation before the exam, so he was still sleeping lazy, Jiang Xuehan said hello to Jiang Aiguo and went out to exercise early in the morning.

Looking at the bright morning sun rising slowly in the east, and the morning glow spreading all over the oriental city, Jiang Xuehan felt that the Shanghai market was thriving in a heat wave.

There are already small vendors pushing carts on the street to sell breakfast, steaming soy milk with a few fritters, pancakes, a bowl of bean curd or a plate of cold noodles are all people are accustomed to breakfast.

On the road, there are mostly college students in the exam month, there are good Chinese roommates who carry more than a dozen steamed buns in one hand, and there are also college veterans wearing tank tops, big pants and flip-flops.

Jiang Xuehan likes to drink a cup of yogurt and eat a bowl of mixed noodles after exercising, the breakfast shop that turns left at the entrance of the community has many varieties, and I have liked it since I ate that mixed noodles for the first time, no, Jiang Xuehan walked there to eat breakfast again.

"Oh, isn't this Comrade Lei Feng!" Cai Zhimin said with a smile, "It's a holiday, you, come out to exercise so early, it's a good habit to stick to it." ”

"Grandpa Cai, I'm not Lei Feng, my name is Jiang Xuehan. Jiang Xuehan saw Cai Zhimin sitting at the breakfast shop eating breakfast, so he sat down at Cai Zhimin's table with mixed flour and yogurt.

"It turns out that you are the famous Jiang Xuehan!" Cai Zhimin's voice rose a lot, attracting people's attention.

"When I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, I heard that there was a student named Jiang Xuehan in Jingle Middle School, and two points were deducted for the final exam. Cai Zhimin's eyes widened and looked at Jiang Xuehan carefully, she was beautiful and studied so well, what kind of family can cultivate such a child, "Then I'll call you Hanhan, no matter what, you have to go to my house for dinner at noon today, I have to thank you well, the old woman in my family also knows about you saving me, so scared that she said that she must invite you to a meal and thank you, if I say that you go to dinner, she will stay at home honestly." ”

"Okay Grandpa Cai, I'll go. ”

"Hey, that's a good feeling. ”

Cai Zhimin finished eating first and left first, and Jiang Xuehan continued to eat.

"Little girl, you are Jiang Xuehan, my son is Ma Wenqiang, he said that you are his tablemate. The breakfast shop owner brought a plate of dumplings to Jiang Xuehan, "Please eat plate dumplings, the home-made early rice dumplings are very fragrant!"

"What's so embarrassing about that, Uncle Ma. Jiang Xuehan hurriedly excused himself.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can eat, you can't get a few dollars, but if you have time, you can help my family Wenqiang teach him how to study, I can't help him with my low culture, and now his grades are not good, alas. ”

"I'll try my best, but Uncle Ma I'm already full, how many dumplings are left, pack four portions for me and I'll take them home, how much is it in total?"

"I have to pay. Jiang Xuehan saw that he wanted to say that he didn't want money, and immediately said.

"Five cents a piece. Ma Yuanbao said helplessly.

Jiang Xuehan paid the money and walked home with the dumplings.

Passing by an alley, he saw a thin, weak, but unexpectedly clean old beggar sitting at the entrance of the alley begging, Jiang Xuehan thought for a while, and handed a dumpling to the old beggar, "Hot dumplings, you can eat them quickly! ”

Seeing that the beggar hesitantly took it, Jiang Xuehan smiled at him and turned to leave.

"Thank you. Jiang Xuehan heard the old beggar behind him whisper thanks, and immediately replied, "No thanks." ”

"Take care of your health, you're getting old. Jiang Xuehan walked a few steps and stopped, turned to the old beggar and said.

Without waiting for the old beggar to respond, Jiang Xuehan hurried away.

Leaving the old beggar to sit at the corner of the alley, no one saw the moistness of his eyes, and no one seemed to care about a beggar's emotions.

There are always troughs in life, some people may be lucky to get up from the trough, but some people are not so lucky, for those who are not lucky, we just need to be more tolerant and understanding.

Jiang Aiguo was eating dumplings with relish, Jiang Luyao was brushing his teeth, and Lu Yinghua went grocery shopping.

"Hanhan, aren't you tired of getting up so early every day to go out for exercise?" Jiang Luyao took a dumpling and sat on the sofa after washing.

"How can you be tired of strengthening your body, but brother, don't sleep all the time, young people should be full of vitality. ”

Jiang Luyao buried his head in hard work, "This is the dumplings from the breakfast shop in the community, they are delicious." Jiang Luyao didn't want to continue the topic of getting up early, he didn't have the advantage of being able to win his sister.

"What Han Han said makes sense! You will go to exercise with your sister every day in the future, and you are not allowed to sleep lazy. Jiang Aiguo nodded in agreement and stuffed another big dumpling.

Jiang Luyao looked at Jiang Xuehan with a bitter face, and Jiang Xuehan turned his head to ignore him.

Jiang Xuehan told Jiang Aiguo that he was going to Cai Zhimin's house for dinner at noon, and then he was going to go to the store to buy some fruit and milk to take to Cai Zhimin's house, and it was always bad to go empty-handed.

Lu Yinghua told her to go home early to pack her luggage for Japan, and repeatedly told her not to drink, Jiang Xuehan agreed one by one before being let out.

Holding a fruit basket in his right hand and a carton of milk in his left hand, Jiang Xuehan rang the doorbell of Cai Zhimin's house.

After a while, the door was opened, and it was Cai Zhimin who opened the door, obviously he noticed what Jiang Xuehan was mentioning.

"Oh, Hanhan, why do you come here to buy things, you are a child and you have no financial resources. Cai Zhimin took the fruit basket and milk in Jiang Xuehan's hand and motioned for her to come in.

Jiang Xuehan smiled and closed the door, "Grandpa Cai, I have money now, and the school has issued a scholarship of five hundred yuan, not to mention that you shouldn't be praised for buying something to honor you?"

Cai Zhimin disagreed, "Forget it this time, don't break the bank in the future, how good it is to keep that money to buy some school supplies." ”

"Okay! Listen to you, next time I won't buy it for you, I'll buy it specifically for Grandma Zhou. Jiang Xuehan said to Zhou Yun, Cai Zhimin's wife, who came out of the kitchen.

"Hey, you kid!" Cai Zhimin was helpless, put Jiang Xuehan on the sofa, and brought her a glass of cold juice.

Zhou Yun came out of the kitchen and saw Jiang Xuehan like it at first sight, so he quickly washed his hands and took off the apron on his body and threw it to Cai Zhimin, "Old man, you wash the vegetables yourself, I'll sit with Han Han for a while." ”

Cai Zhimin resigned himself to putting on an apron and went into the kitchen.

Zhou Yun took Jiang Xuehan's hand and asked east and west, Jiang Xuehan answered when he asked, and sometimes asked Zhou Yun in turn, and finally Jiang Xuehan figured out the situation of Zhou Yun's family.

It turned out that Cai Zhimin and Zhou Yun's son died in a car accident many years ago, and the second old white-haired man sent the black-haired man, and the disaster was not a one-way street, and the daughter-in-law died after her son because of cancer, leaving a seven-year-old grandson named Cai Mingyu to the second elder, and the two old people raised the grandson, and now the grandson is studying abroad for a doctorate in law, and he will return to China in one year.

Jiang Xuehan thought to himself what a sad past this was, fortunately, there was a grandson who could support the two of them, and the second elder could at least take care of them for a long time.

Jiang Xuehan offered to go to the kitchen to help, and Zhou Yun also followed, and the three of them cooperated in an orderly manner, and soon a table of food was presented in front of them.

The three of them chatted and ate, time passed slowly, and at nearly one o'clock, Jiang Xuehan said goodbye and said that he was going home to pack his luggage, and he would take a red-eye flight to Japan tomorrow night.

The second elder was also very happy to hear that Jiang Xuehan had obtained the qualification for publicly-funded exchanges, and warned her to pay attention to safety in a foreign country and unite her compatriots.

Jiang Xuehan nodded to indicate that he understood, "Grandpa Cai, Grandma Zhou, go back, and come to see you when I return to China, bye!"
